ilx gossip - enbb
<3

that one is hilarious because ian NEVER knows what to eat and is always seeking advice on it

xposts

i dunno roxy - we have a support group - when ian isn't online and i need to eat, i sometimes think "what would ian do?"

So, imaginary ian is the go-to guy here.

uhhh wtf?

about the gossip thing? oh, it's just that you know more than me -

ilx gossip axis used to be crut, me, gr80, ethan and chaki. together we were unstoppable.

so tru

is that something to be proud of?

when i ate breakfast with ethan in atl the first thing he said was: "so what's the ilx gossip?"

hahaha thats the 1st thing he said at sefap #1

xxpost ok mom!

& i was like "idk man... everything i know i know from u & rox so..."

I still don't get WTF you're talking about it but OK. Also, with the amount of research you did at the beginning of your posting career I'm pretty sure it's not possible tat anyone knows more than you do.

If they're the Cydwoq ones, ILX credit for that should go to Ed! I think he's the one who originally talked about them, so I tried a pair. But also for serious I've got nothing on men's fashion -- go-to ILX0rs for Serious Menswear would be more like Phil or Shasta, maybe? The only fashion question I can answer on here is when someone's like "aren't all clothes basically the same thing."

HAHAHAHA <3 otm. I was out with co-workers last week and got a little too excited when I found one who also knew all the words to the poem that J Stiles recites in 10 Things. That said, I would argue that that movie is not crappy but AWESOME.

enbb is go-to for being awesome btw

Right back at you woman.

Are you talking to yourself??

lol what? No! Horseshoe said that upthread. Should have put it in quotes.

im reaching but no one would come to me for anything?

I can't think of anything I know about that someone else on ILX doesn't know way more about. Frowny face.

yeah me too. except late 80's and early 90's r&b.

im sorry make that new jack swing.

I'm better than most of you at everything. I just am too damn modest to constantly display my superiority.

I might venture early 90s UK dance music for me, but then damn you Tim F.

I think I out-knowledge everyone in Wengerball, Buffy episodes and (in a years time i will i guess) Wu-Tang?

Damn I need to learn a craft that isnt done alone in a dark room. <--- sentence makes my obsession seem more grotesque than it already is.

sunny: i perceive letter and numbers via color-grapheme synesthesia. i hate it when people say they "have" it, it's not a disease imo? agree/disagree or do you say "have"?

I have a satchel bag, it's not a disease...

wasnt there some thread about people claiming to be synesthetic

not accusing anyone here

There's two:

Synesthesia : Classic or Dud?
do you have synesthesia? are you a synesthete?

roxy u can 'have' things that are not diseases

i take pills for my hands

i prolly know more abt '70s german abstract painting than anyone else here, thats abt as much as im gonna claim

I can mimic any voice — doesn't come too well across in this medium :|

is cans mimics thes voices ofs thats characters offs futuramas ons ilxs betters thans anyones

xxxp how do you get the bottle open?

plax you are the closest we've come to solving Stevie's Mystery of the Miami Art Basel which makes you a GENIUS in my book

many xposts to Chris: dude you are our go-to guy for O_o and TMI posts. Also thermos hate. And barber/shaving pro tips

i feel like this thread was A+ trolling in terms of making the max. # of ppl butthurt but idk that prolly wasnt the intention

otm, but some people really act like theyre stricken w/ it and that they see colors when they look @ a page, etc, and when i hear people say they "have" synethesia it always reminds me of that type of person. just my .02 and my imo

were ppl really butthurt? it seemed like some people were ;_; that they weren't mentioned or known for anything, but they weren't too butthurt. people who get super butthurt at least have board personalities and aren't wallpaper imo. tbh i skimmed the thread. haw.

if someone said i was a specialist at being butthurt i would be pretty butthurt

deej: being butthurt

lol

kinda accepted my dilletante status awhile ago tbh

lol and ordinarily i am an orthographic whiz except i just misspelled "dilettante"

there we go

yah 10 things is totally quality. it is also the only movie i know of that has alex mack in it!

Roxy, synesthesia is not a disease or a disorder but a condition ie: there is nothing wrong with you. Synesthetes have more neural connections between sensory brain centers. In the case of color grapheme the grapheme and color areas sit right next to each other in the visual cortex. The neural connections between these areas are not only increased in c-g synesthetes but they also pass through a binding center and hence the binding of color and numbers or letters.

Let me ask you - C-G synesthetes say that if they see for example B as red and someone drew a black B on a red piece of paper it doesn't disappear. Is that a shade thing? Like if the paper was the EXACT shade of red would it disappear?

Another: If i were to write you a note in red ink would you know its it red ink or would you still see the same colors for each letter you always do? ALSO: say if you saw C as green and E as purple, but in my hand writing my Es look more like Cs, do those Es look green??

Second last question: ill you do this mapping thing and either post or email me the result? Pleeeease??

shit

tbrr i already had poignant misspellings

sunny, maybe i'm not color-grapheme, cause that doesn't sound like me at all! i don't actually see the color on the paper in front of my face, i mentally visualize the particular color associated with each letter as I read or hear or whatever; certain words take on mental hues bc of the letter/color combo, also if a particular word (or more often, name) is associated with a color it's usually because of the starting letter. its kind of a helpful mnemonic, and i think everyone does it to some degree. if you get people talking about it they usually say they at least associate the days of the week w/ certain colors - that's not far removed at all imo.

because i don't literally see the colors in the letters most of your Qs don't apply to me, but re: the c's and e's thing, the e's are the same color no matter what they're shaped like as long as i can recognize it as an e. it's to do with its relationship to the rest of the word, kinda.

i've done a mapping thing before. it's fun and i'll do that one and send it to you!

Roxy: That (or a similar) was a method that many vaudeville mnemonists used for their acts.

rox do you associate colors with ilx0rs

Still amused that I was tagged as the SCOTUS guy when I boast no law degree.

lol mook!

how about mediaeval philosophy xp

please associate me with brown

i think all us older ppl associate gareth w/ brown

Roxy, that still sounds like synesthesia to me. It comes in many different variations.
My understanding is that the following are fairly good signs you have color grapheme synesthesia:
1. the color isnt an association made by a past event.eg you didnt have colored ABCs on your wall as a kid etc
2. the colors are generic ie they are always the same for each grapheme
3. the synesthetic perception is stronger than the initial perception eg like how you use the color to remember a name rather than just remembering the name
4. someone in your family probably has some form of synethesia.

also this line from your post is very common for developmental synesthetes because they were born with it, and often have family members with it, it doesnt occur to them that most people dont:

...certain words take on mental hues bc of the letter/color combo, also if a particular word (or more often, name) is associated with a color it's usually because of the starting letter. its kind of a helpful mnemonic, and i think everyone does it to some degree.

Pretty sure most people dont do that ^^^

i think i have a mild form of ordinal linguistic personification synesthesia (where you assign personality to letter, numbers, time etc.) the story goes: One day many years ago I was complaining to a friend that i hate even numbers because they are so arrogant and preferred odd numbers because they had a humble vibe about them. she replied that i was very wrong and that it was the odd numbers that were arrogant and 'shiny' and even numbers that were humble. We argued about this for years and when we asked others to mediate they acted like we had a few hundred screws loose. Anyway, when I finally found out about synesthesia i was understandably 'oooooooooh well okay'.

You should do some googling on time space synesthesia. mind blowing stuff.

haha i can totally see odd numbers as arrogant. so many evens just seem round and personable by comparison.

i had a similar conversation about a school friend named George Brown, and whether his name should be pictured as green and brown or rusty red.

oh no way odd numbers are totally better. evens are all goody-goody

i don't have any type of synthesthesia or anything, but I have an aversion to odd numbers. like if I have an odd number of windows open in IE, and it shows me the # and it's like a 7 or a 9, I always find one to close so that it is even. just a compulsion of mine.

hilarious. i have always preferred evens. esp 4 and 8.

also have a weird ritual in which I knock on my bed post in two sets of 37 before going to sleep.

It's bizarre, I never did this until I turned 22, have no idea where the ritual came from, I think it was something I dreamed one night and began doing and I have probably done it every night for 8 years.

Now that I think of it I sort of think as odd numbers as point and even numbers as flat but like doens't everyone sort of maybe do that in a sense?

possibly

also have a weird ritual in which I knock on my bed post in two sets of 37 before going to sleep.

well most of them anyway. I'm sure there are people at work who secretly wonder 'why's he always tapping that wall' etc.

I thought I had OCD when was 19 and even took Luvox for it but I (and my shrink at the time ) suspected I have more of an obsessive personality than actual OCD. my mom has some crazy weird behavior issues tho, like talking to herself, which she passed on to me

Don't want to derail so I'll keep this brief: I've been diagnosed OCD twice so I don't wonder about it anymore. Also recently I heard & read some stuff about Asperger that described me so closely it sort of scared the shit out of me (not sure what to do about that tbh).

dont worry unduly about it imo

I talk to myself all the time! Didn't know it was crazy D:

I don't think it is, but when people catch me doing it they make mad fun of me.

You need a new job and new life IMO

Yeah I talk to myself out loud freely when I'm alone.

When I'm in public, I think to myself furiously and sometimes realise I'm kind of almost-whsipering and i have to really watch out I dont end up one of those muttering nutters.

what does it have to do with my job?

yes, that Trayce. and I think some peole getw eirded out as it almost sounds like I'm having a two way conversation, but well like I mentioned I get it from my mom. except she does it much worse, and only when she's angry.
